Choosing a high floor cabinet-pencil case for the kitchen

A piece of furniture such as a tall base cabinet-cabinet for the kitchen is a convenient and functional addition to the main headset. Ease of installation allows you to place it in the corner or along the wall, most efficiently using the available free area of ​​the interior space.

Among the options for the use of furniture structures of the "pencil case" type can be noted:

• placement of dishes for permanent storage;
• installation of household appliances in several tiers;
• storage of food supplies - cereals, spices, seasonings;
• location of kitchen utensils or appliances with non-standard dimensions.

A high floor cabinet-pencil for the kitchen can become a real salvation for a small kitchen, where it is impossible to place a full-fledged corner or U-shaped set. A distinctive feature of such products is considered to be a large height and a relatively small width and depth. Narrow elongated modules can be placed on high legs or have decorative strips that cover the facade. They are often used for hidden placement of communication nodes, pipes, meters.

A refrigeration unit can be placed in a spacious classic-style pencil case - in this case, the upper row of modules remains open, and the lower one is designed as a sideboard with two swing doors or a large door. A compact, narrow pencil case with a fully enclosed design - ideal for hidden installation of small household appliances.

Among the main advantages of floor-standing tall cabinets is their versatility. With the help of such a piece of furniture, you can smooth out architectural flaws, fill a niche or free corner. A wide range of commercially available designs allows each homeowner to choose a convenient and functional option. Among the obvious advantages, you can also note the variety of filling - you can combine shelves, drawers, built-in elements.

Not without flaws. Deaf models with closed, solid flaps are better not to be done with division into several sections. In the case of a pencil case, such a constructive solution will be inconvenient. The taller the cabinet, the more difficult it will be to use the top shelves. When making or buying a finished structure, it is worth considering the growth of users who will operate the storage system. The disadvantages include the attempts of manufacturers to save on fittings.

When choosing a base cabinet-pencil case the following points should be considered:

• functional purpose - models for built-in appliances differ from lightweight options;
• the height of the separately purchased cabinet must correspond to the general parameters of the entire headset;
• when buying a "column" type construction, it is imperative to choose the depth taking into account this indicator for the rest of the kitchen furniture;
• the material must withstand continuous continuous operation, contact with a humid environment, grease, dirt.

Exterior decor also matters. The lower tiers of the kitchen cabinet should not have glazed elements. It is permissible to use paired mirror structures in the corners of the room to visually increase the area of ​​space. Partially open shelves should always be at the very top.
